Around Central Park and the downtown district
The Jacksonville Downtown Historic District, listed in 2018, surrounds Central Park. A building with an irregular roof edge is measured one section at a time, and each run is formed to match.
Gutter installation near Jacksonville, IL starts with where the water goes
The city's treatment plant has combined sewer overflow facilities that can treat an extra 57.9 million gallons a day of storm water during rain events. That is a sign of how much runoff the system takes in when a storm hits. Water that leaves a roof, crosses a lawn and reaches a street inlet becomes part of that flow.
So the downspout plan matters as much as the gutter. We measure each eave, form the seamless aluminum at your house in .032 gauge and set hidden brackets, then choose outlets that put water on your own grade. Ask any gutter installer in Jacksonville, and every one of the gutter installers you compare, where the outlets will land.
Sizing
A roof sheds more than its share of the city's rain.
Jacksonville averages 39.25 inches of precipitation and 16.2 inches of snow a year. We recommend 6 inch gutters with 3x4 downspouts over 5 inch and 2x3, because a wide channel and a big outlet get a heavy rain off the roof edge before it spills over.
Places in town where an installation call comes from
Each part of Jacksonville has its own roof shapes.
Near the Duncan Park area
The Joseph Duncan House, listed on the National Register in 1971, sits here. An added porch or sunroom on a house of this age meets the older roof at an angle, so the new run gets its own downspout.
South Jacksonville addresses
South Jacksonville is a neighboring village that uses the city sewer plant. A street address is the quickest way for us to place a house when you call.
Three kinds of new run
Rain gutter installation in Jacksonville usually puts seamless gutters in one of these places.
- 01
A new addition
We form the run to the new eave and route its downspout so it does not shed onto the older roof.
- 02
A porch or entry roof
Small roofs shed a lot in a downpour. These get a continuous run of their own.
- 03
A garage or outbuilding
Detached buildings often have no gutter at all. We add one and decide where the water will land.

What homeowners say
This company has great customer service. The work that was provided was excellent. I appreciate them thoroughly cleaning up at the end of the job.
Nathan was a delight to work with and I love my new gutters!! Nate is very knowledgeable and hands on. I highly recommend if you are in the market for new gutters to give him a call…you will be happy you did!!
110% satisfaction. Easy scheduling. One guy; prompt and obviously knowledgable about all things gutter. Everything's more complcated than you think: Gutters overflowing? Have pulled away from facia. Loose downspouts? Prior installers used metal drywall screws to attach. And no attempt to sell me Gutter Guard!
Gutter installation questions in Jacksonville
What is a combined sewer, and does it affect my downspouts?
A combined sewer carries both household sewage and storm water. Jacksonville's system is mostly combined. We do not do plumbing, but we can plan your downspouts to discharge onto your own lot instead of toward a street inlet.
Do I need new gutters in Jacksonville if I am adding a porch?
A porch roof is a new eave, and it needs its own gutter and downspout. We form the run to its exact length so it matches the rest of the house.
Are seamless gutters worth it in Jacksonville?
A seamless run has no joints along the eave, which is where sectional gutters usually leak first. With about 39 inches of precipitation a year, fewer leak points is a practical advantage.
